Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. English passage is followed by several questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the

one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

People worry that developments in Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., will bring about a point

in

history

when

A.

I.

overtakes

human

intelligence,

leading

to

an

unimaginable

revolution

in

human

affairs.

Or

they

wonder

whether

instead

of

our

controlling

artificial

intelligence,

it

will

control us.

The situation may not arise for hundreds of years to come, but this doesn

’

t mean we have

nothing to worry about. On the contrary, The A. I. products that now exist are improving faster

than most people realize and promise to fundamentally transform our world, not always for the

better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will reshape what work

means and how wealth is created.

Unlike the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution, the A. I. revolution is not

taking certain jobs and replacing them with other

jobs. Instead, it

is believed

to cause a wide

-

scale elimination of jobs -- mostly lower - paying jobs, but some higher - paying ones, too.

This transformation will result in enormous profits for the companies that develop A.I., as

well as for the companies that adopt it. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily

together; enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people

out of work. What is to be done?

Part of the answer will

involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools aren

’

t

good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and

“

cross -

field

”

thinking. But these skills are typically required by high - paying jobs that may be hard to

retrain

displaced

workers

to

do.

More

promising

are

lower

-

paying

jobs

involving

the

“

people

skills

”

that A.I. lacks: social workers, barmen, doormen -- professions requiring human interaction.

But how many barmen does a society really need?

The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve

“

service jobs of love.

”

These are jobs that A. I. cannot do, that society needs and that give people a sense of purpose.

Examples

include

accompanying

an

older

person

to

visit

a

doctor,

helping

at

an

orphanage

and

serving as a sponsor at charity organization. The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words,

may turn into the real jobs of the future.

Other

volunteer

jobs

may

be

higher

-

paying

and

professional,

such

as

compassionate

最新

文档

medial service providers. In all cases, people will be able to choose to work fewer hours than they

do now.

56. In what aspect is the A. I. revolution different from the Industrial or the Computer revolution?

A. The A.I. revolution will finally become one beyond human

’

s control.

B. A. I. is believed to lead to a point in history when it takes over human intelligence.

C. Higher - paying jobs will take the place of lower-paying ones in the A.I. revolution.

D. It may bring about mass unemployment to matter how much employees are paid.

57. The underlined word

“

promising

”

in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. promotional

B. demanding

C. guaranteed

D. potential

58. What does the author suggest in the face of the A.I. revolution?

A. It is sensible to encourage people to take volunteer jobs.

B. People should be instructed to do less demanding jobs.

C. The problem of job loss can be solved by creating lower-paying jobs.

D. Jobs requiring knowledge in different fields are suitable for displaced workers.

59. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

A. The A.I. Revolution Creates New Job Opportunities.

B. Challenges the A. I. Revolution Brings to Job Market.

C. A Double - edged Sword: the A.I. Revolution.

D. Interrelationship between A.I. and Unemployment.
